Ann and Tom Kelly of Baltimore, West Cork, recently held a fundraiser Summer Bar B Que at their home to raise awareness and funds for the West Cork Rapid Response. Ann herself was involved in a very serious accident some time ago and Dr. Jason Van Der Velde of West Cork Rapid Response was amongst those who came to her rescue. A wonderful evening was had by all who attended and Ann and Tom made a very generous donation of €2,000.00 to our very worthy cause. Our heartfelt thanks to Ann and Tom for their endeavours.
